Larry: I missed that,so dug deeper. The size of the intake is the key to telling the 302 from the 351W. I see that it has an Edelbrock Victor Air Gap, which is available for either engine. The only difference I could see on the pics in Summitts catalog was the temp sensor boss on the 302 is in line with the manifold bolt holes, whereas the 351 temp boss is offset towards the center . So it does appear that it is a 351W based engine. Actual displacement and power is nebulous. There is a way to test the actual volume of a cylinder, but I don't remember what it is. Or, just put it on a dyno.
